Answer 2

Question:

A shark swims at a speed of 25 miles per hour. The shark rests after 40 miles. How long, in minutes, does the shark swim before resting?

My process:

The first thing that I would do is to divide the 25 miles by 5. This will give you 5 miles, which will help you later. The next step is to divide the 60 minutes by 5, because we know that 60 minutes is an hour, and the shark is going 25 mph. Whatever you do to the 25 mi., you need to do to the hour.

So far, we know that the shark goes 5 miles in 12 minutes. Well, if you multiply 5 by 8, you get 40. So, now we need to multiply 12 by 8, which gives us 96 minutes.

Answer: The shark goes 40 miles in 96 minutes.
